Is it normal to not text every day in the talking stage?
Depends.It depends
Yes, it’s normal not to text every day while you’re getting to know someone. People have different texting habits, so pay more attention to whether the interest and effort feel mutual than to a daily message count.
Some people like a steady stream of texts; others would rather catch up every few days or save the conversation for an in-person date. Not texting daily doesn’t automatically mean someone isn’t interested—or that you’re doing anything wrong.
What matters more is the overall pattern: do they make plans, respond with interest, and follow through? If the gap leaves you unsure, it’s fine to say you enjoy hearing from them or ask what kind of communication feels natural to them. There’s no universal talking-stage texting schedule.
